 Hi,

 Last week, I've been using gaim 2.0.0b6 (provided by Ubuntu) and Pidgin
 2.1.0 (from Getdeb).  Here at work, I can use MSN by using the http-method
 and a proxy server.  For XMPP, I have to set up an ssh-tunnel to a host
 outside the network to use forwarding of port 5222 on the server to my
 localhost.  I didn't have any problem.

 Today, I only have problems.  First I had random crashes.  As Getdeb
 warned for this, I switched back to pidgin (and pidgin-data) 2.0.2, and
 also tried my old gaim install, but none of this resulted in a stable app.
 Sometimes I can reproduce a crash by killing the ssh tunnel process, but
 this isn't always the fact.  Also it seems libmsn.so causes the crash, but
 for MSN I don't use the tunnel.  Random crashes occur.

 I tried to get a backtrace, but I think I don't have enough information.
 In attach, you can find info from GDB.
